count of the proceedings of the caucus

severely commented on to-day by MEM

manifestation of petty childish spite in
the cutting ont of the report the name of
Senator Mann who offered the only resO-
lutions adopted by the caucus was
especially denounced as despicable and
unworthy any decent journal that pre-
tends to furnish the news of the day. No
blame is attached to its correspondent

conduct.
THAT RIDICULOUS RESOLUTION.
Last nights fiasco on the part of the
Immortal Thirty" men, who are alone
responsible for the deadlock by which
the action of one hundred and eight
members in the election of United
States Senator is blocked, has been the
subject of much mirthful and sarcastic
comment to-day. 1t was too utterly ri
diculous in its characteristic and general
effect to be treated seriously or in anger
or Indignation and has therefore simply
been a laughing stock for all but those
who were foolish enough to engage in it.
The pOstponement of the caucus till to-
morrow might have the good effect of
bringing few more of the recalcitrant
to their senses and leading them to aban-
don the had company they find them

its work might have been improved

Dolph On Coast Defsnses.

Senator J. n. Dolph of Oregon,
chairman of the senate committee on
coast defenses, said to an Oregonian
reporter the other day:
l consider the question of coast
defcnses the great military question
of the hour. Puget Sound cities,
Astoria, Portland, San Francisco,
other Pacific sea ports, as we'll as
cities on the gulf and the Atlantic
states, are at the mercy of any hostile
nation with 9 modern navy in case
of conflict. Our forts and ships
and guns, which twenty-five years
ago We're equal to those of any other
nation. have become useless to pro-
tect our seaports since that time, on
account of the improvement in guns
and armour, Notifications and ships.
Our neighbor British Columbia, or
rather Great Britain, is already forti
flying its possessions on the Sound.
and has ordered a battery of heavy
modern steel breech-loading guns
for the fortification, and is now locat
ing them. We have never turned n
shovelful of earth on Puget Sound
looking toward defense; yet all the
cities on Puget Sound would be ex-
posed to destruction or subject to the
levy OF tribute by single fourth
class vessel. What is true of Puget
Sound is true of Portland, Astoria
and other ports On the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. The senate passed
two bills TO authorize the secretary of
war and the secretary of the navy to
contract for forged-steel suitable for
the manufacture of modern guns in
quantities sufficient to induce private
parties to invest in the enterprise.
providing the plant for producing the
large steel lngots necessary for heavy
guns and establishing two gun fac
tories, one for the army and one for
the navy. The bills passed the sem
ate, but failed in the house. I think
there is growing public sentiment
IN favor of coast defenses which will
compel congress soon to make the
necessary appropriations. We as a
nation are under heavy bonds to keep
the peace. 1t is fortunate for us that
Great Britain, by reason of her ex-
tensive commerce and the proximity
of her colonial possessions, is under
equally heavy bonds.
Wien in Seattle last week, speak,
ing of coast defenses, the senator said:
There is urgent need of properly
fortifying Puget Sound Great Brit
ain is fortifying her possessions on
tho Sound and straits, aud board of
engineers has been sent cut to locate
the Notifications A battery of So
ton Armstrong guns has been ordered
and will soon be in place. Should a
controversy between England and
the United States arise and result in
war, a single gunboat of the enemy
could come into Puget Sound, capture
every place and compel the payment
OF tribute from every city upon its
shores. Fortifcations with modern
powerful guns should bc constructed
near Port Townsend, at Point Wilson
upon one side and at Admiralty Head
upon the other and also ut DECEPTION
Pass.

1t is said that MIR. Blaine has per-
suaded Gladstone to visit the United
States, and that the great English
